Nothing came up under spelling Sherwyn. This was the only item under Sherwin. Source: Accessible Archives ITEM #3619 September 20, 1739 The Pennsylvania Gazette Township of Chester Burlington County SS. WHEREAS in the American Weekly Mercury No. 1022. In giving the melancholy Account of one James Sherwin, late of our said Township, It is said he was shot at twice before, by the same Person, and badly Wounded, but through Mercy escaped with Life. These are to certify, that we whose Names are here under written (some of us being on the Coroners Inquest) Neighbours, are well satisfied the Person never shot at nor wounded the said James Sherwin as above, before the time he received his mortal Wound.

Ah, here's another, under spelling Sherrin (I found this by searching for John Ward): ITEM #3552 August 2, 1739 The Pennsylvania Gazette PHILADELPHIA. On the 26th of July past JOHN WARD near ANCHOCAS, going out to hunt Deer, perceived something to stir in the Bushes, and seeing the Botom part of a Man's white Shirt, he thought it to be the white of a Deer's Tail, fir'd his Gun off, and kill'd one JAMES SHERRIN, his Neighbour (who was out on the same Account) on the Spot. The Assembly of this Province meet on Monday next by their Adjournment. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Stanley" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2004 12:21 PM Subject: Re: [PACHESTE] Available Databases at Accessible Archives - FYI > Gail Steckel wrote: > > >Since some of the requests I'm getting are outside of the scope of data > >available at Accessible Archives, I thought it might be wise to post what IS > >available. > > > >Newspapers/Magazines: > > > > > > Godey`s Lady`s Book 1830-1880 > > > > The Pennsylvania Gazette 1728-1800; "The New York Times of the 18th > >Century" > > > > The Civil War: A Newspaper Perspective > >November 1860 - April 1865 > >The Charleston Mercury * The New York Herald * Richmond Enquirer > > > > African American Newspapers: The 19th Century > > > > The Pennsylvania Newspaper Record: > >Delaware County 1819-1870 > >The Industrial Revolution in Delaware County /w Vital Statistics > > > > The Pennsylvania Genealogical Catalogue: > >Chester County 1809-1870 > > > > American County Histories to 1900: > >This section contains copies of published histories of the following areas: > >New Jersey, Delaware, and the Eastern portion of PA. > > > > > > > > > >==== PACHESTE Mailing List ==== > >Check out the searchable US GenWeb Project Archives! > >http://searches.rootsweb.com/usgwarch.html > > > > > > > > > Hello Gail > > I am looking for a copy of an article in the Pennsylvania Gazette No. > 555 {Jul-Aug 1738} Titled " Death of James Sherwyn" who was shot by John > Ward..
